I'd agree that rep is bullshit. People rep one another for saying stupid shit, if it's at the expense of someone they've somehow managed to hate without ever meeting them.

But really, IceCold48, I have two issues:
1: When I said I you weren't coming off as particularly bright, the trollwork you just executed with Sniggles is what I'm referring to. You both have the potential to contribute more to the board...but that volley of garbage isn't cutting it.

2: you haven't even remotely responded to the content in my post as to why it's idiotic to call Vitor a cheater. You'd gone on record saying something like "if someone cheats, why can't you call him a cheater?" Assuming you got past the first two lines, after reading my posts, are you still inclined to call Vitor a cheater?

You are obviously insecure about your lack of intelligence so resort to being more and more of a docuhe each day. By the way every time I come back at you and your shit I get rep'd so obviously I'm not alone here.

And I get rep for winding you up and making you angry. Rep matters. Facts remain are that I span you like a top and you say alot of silly shit often without thinking it through. I was trying to make you think about that for a second.

You can't even stay on a single thought at once. You went from Vitor to trolling to crying.

Because its an open forum...why should I think before I type things? What "silly shit" have I said in 100 percent seriousness? You don't like my sense of humor, it infuriates you and I actually enjoy that. But when it comes to MMA I know my shit even though I tend to troll fans of fighters I don't like for example saying Anderson Silva is a poor striker haha.

And yeah riv I kind of just ignored it because I didn't care enough to read the whole thing my bad haha.

Initial Zen, the point I was trying to make was that I am not the only one who thinks he has become nothing more than a trolling dickhead.

Rep matters. It's if people like the things you say or not, that matters. I mean yeah, if you're super controversial then you're gonna get some supporters, but that's how life in general works. For the most part though, if you are an idiot or a pompous ass, people are gonna get tired of your shit, and if you are intelligent, witty, and insightful, people are gonna appreciate that. I understand where he is coming from to an extent because I get annoyed too by the overwhelming snobby ass baggery that sometimes takes place here, and runs rampant in the off topic parts. There is a difference between discussing the topic at hand on what you consider to be a deeper level, and losing your shit when everybody else does the same. I enjoy Riv's insight (as well as many others), but I also enjoy one liners, Hoss posting clips of Hendo destroying Bisping, and people actually trying to have fun. That is what this is after all, fun, that's what we are doing. We aren't actually changing anything in the MMA world. We are discussing things we enjoy with other people who enjoy the same thing, to enhance our own personal enjoyment, and have a sense of belonging.

I should point out that I hate my job, I have about as many bills as I can handle, and then some, I've been engaged for 4 years when I wanna get married, I live in a place that I don't particularly enjoy for the sake of my fiancée going to school, and I bitch about my personal life on an MMA forum. My point is that I dislike a lot of my life, but I gotta do what I gotta do. I don't gotta do this, I do it for fun, which is what it should be.

On-topic though, the lack of sophisticated MMA drug testing in the top tier organization is and has always been to blame. The UFC does not really care enough about the purity of sport, it cares about profit margins more. One can simply look at fighter sponsors and objective statements from fighters on pay to see how they take care of the fighters. Dana White sways the way of popular sentiment like a bad politician.

ViTRTor has not been proven to be a cheat, nor will any fighter who abuses TRT rather than uses it for medical treatment. The proper tests to detect EPO and HGH are not applied and synthetic testosterone is undetectable in training camp without surprise tests. Vitor probably has been abusing TRT. There is no definitive answer though.

Lance Armstrong had allegations for years then proper testing finally caught him. Fact is though, that it takes investigations to actually catch an athlete when scheduled testing (which is easy to schedule doping against) is in place.

How exactly do you define be proven a cheat if apparently failing a drug test and being suspended for it is not enough?

OK, so you're a troll. You try to be funny--you aren't--and you can't bother to take three minutes to read an actual post, because you don't care, haha.

So you get no more patience from me.

You have an option...continue to be a troll, and get treated like one; or smarten up.

I'm tired of the board sucking.

Now stop neglecting that your constant rants aren't hurting the board also and let's get back to the topic at hand. A mod stirring the shit pot all of the time and hypocritically thows out your mom jokes then complains that people make jokes that aren't funny. I love how you ironically ignored what sniggles and I just posted actual regarding mma....

I actually addressed that in my post. But it apparently had too many words for you to understand.

My constant rants?

I've posted two in the last year.

I posted a your mama joke, but it's hypocritical? I didn't say jokes weren't good for the board...I said you weren't good for the board. You aren't funny. There are many members who routinely post jokes that put anything I do to shame. You just aren't one of them.

But moreover, you've just admitted that you're a troll. You've stated that you post shit you don't even agree with to "wind people up." As an admin, I don't have a place for trolls on the board. So by all means, keep trolling.

Nobody will miss you when you're gone.
